Know Your Roots’ Biodynamics workshop series continues where it left off: at the Finger Lakes Cider House. The morning session starts by discussing the beginnings of biodynamics, the foundational principles, the preps in form and function, discussing orchards that are using biodynamic principles and practices to further the productive and resilient capacity of their farms, and a brief tour of the Good Life Farm orchards.
There will be a short break with Q&A and early lunch before we hop in our vehicles and trek over to HJ Wiemer Vineyards where we’ll discuss their biodynamic practices with Thijs Verschurren, HJ Wiemer Vineyard’s vineyard manager. We’ll help dig summer preps, experience their flow form for mixing them, demonstrate prep application, and revel in the grand beauty of their biodynamically certified vineyards. There will be an OPTIONAL wine tasting after the class (cost not included).
